Gwaynston soulmates au, where are they… not soulmates. the universe didn't choose them for each other. none of them blindly dissolves into the other, their characters do not fit perfectly, like a folded puzzle, they do not have a special connection in which they understand each other without words, their experiences are different and their worldviews are not identical. but despite a lot of squabbles and misunderstandings at the beginning, they continue to stick together, they make efforts to make it work. This is not like a linear journey where there is a clear exposition-beginning-culmination-end. It is a winding path with many potholes on the road. but the love that fills their hearts, the realization that they are someone's priority, the sense that they are not alone in this world and the desire to share every moment with this person and no one else, makes all the hard work they do worthwhile. because the universe didn't choose them for each other, but they did.
#No it's far from sad if it seemed that way#they are simply deprived of cheat codes and forced to work as if in a realistic relationship (it is)#and this only makes their bond stronger because it was their conscious choice#the relationship of two mature people who do not want the past to define their common present#Because I think Criston might have had a sad experience with a soulmate.#Gwayne looks like someone who has never believed in this concept secretly worried that he did not meet his own#They start out as forced allies who have looked at each other and decided that they want to fight for it#Gwayne learns to give in#and Criston who always sacrifices himself for the interests of others learns to accept and put himself in an equal position#(because excessive sacrifice also tends to spill over into toxicity)#gwayston#gwaynston#criston x gwayne#gwayne hightower#criston cole#hotd#house of the dragon#my post
